Storm (X-Men) Reading Order

Storm is one of the most interesting and popular members of the X-Men, with a Marvel Universe history that extends well beyond the reach of Marvel’s merry mutants.

Whether you’re familiar with Storm from the classic Chris Claremont and John Byrne X-Men, her marriage to T’Challa the Black Panther during Marvel’s Civil War, or simply Halle Berry’s portrayal in the X-Men movies (or the even superior X-Men animated rendition), the character has a long and compelling history. While much of Storm’s stories overlap with a dive into an X-Men comics reading order, she extends across a variety of Marvel Universe and solo titles as well.

This 2005 miniseries takes a look at Ororo’s childhood gang of thieves. Chronologically, it takes place about as early in Storm’s life as any comic, but most readers will want to start with Uncanny X-Men. Again, roaring on past this to more Uncanny X-Men is completely understandable, and you won’t regret it. Deep cut Storm fans can find something a little different here.

Issues #145 to #147 are particularly relevant for Storm, as she is both romanced and horrendously tortured by Doctor Doom (although it’s probable he still considers this portion of the date “romance”).

For every X-Men reader less interested in doing the full Claremont (and extremely talented artists!) binge, the “Lifedeath” collection cuts the fat and gets straight to the good Storm comics! Lots of amazing art here by Barry Windsor-Smith.
